One church, two astronauts. How a Texas congregation is supporting its members on the space station

A Texas church has not one — but two — members aboard the International Space Station. Like many astronauts before them, NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Tracy Dyson brought along their faith when they launched into space. Dyson isn’t scheduled to return home until September, but Wilmore and his fellow NASA test pilot, Suni Williams, should have been back weeks ago. The pilots are staying longer than expected following issues with Boeing's Starliner capsule. They don’t have a return date yet. Their pastor says that means that for the time being the congregation’s worries have subsided since they are safe as can be aboard the space station.
